Is there a term for agreeing with someone's stance but disagreeing with the person because they're so insufferable and sarcastic in the way they present the argument?

Yes, it is called tone policing.
I was under the impression that tone policing was using to attack the tone because you disagreed with the argument
“I don’t want to be seen agreeing with someone who combats obvious bad faith arguments with sarcasm - please think of me as being better than that, even though we would end up in a pissing contest about nuance or a digression away from the main point”.
Bit of a mouthful though.
